Arts Fundraising Boot Camp.

The Arts Fundraising Boot Camp program is designed to help Philadelphia-based artists and arts organization staff find funding to support specific projects. Participants obtain the skills and materials needed to find and submit grants and create a personalized fundraising plan. They learn from peers in the cohort, work directly with a partner on assignments, and are matched with a local mentor from their arts discipline.​A version of this boot camp can be adapted and arranged for community organizations and not-for-profit organizations.

Testimonials

“Brittany led a valuable three-week session in fundraiser which included nine participants with meetings in three locations, a mentor, and one-on-one partners. The first session began January 12 with an overview and skill assessment. Then we were informed that our preliminary budgets, submitted as a condition of our application, were inadequate and incorrectly prepared. The class reviewed how to create a budget and received an assignment to revise our budgets, then review them one-on-one with our partners. Budgeting was the most helpful aspect of the program. It had been years since I created a formal budget. I have more confidence in this area as a result of the sessions with my partner and Brittany's instruction.”- Lynda Grace Black, Attendee & Artist

"This program helped me understand the value of my own work and how to communicate the worth of what I do to funders and patrons."​- Sarah Carr, Program Participant
